Movi-da 10!
and Movi-da FIT!
abstract
The objective of Movi-da 10! was to evaluate the effectiveness of two active break interventions (short periods of physical activity lasting 5-10 minutes conducted during class time) in the classroom to reduce adiposity and improve physical fitness and cognitive performance in children aged 4 to 6 years.
The objective of Movi-da 10! was to evaluate the effectiveness of two active break interventions (short periods of physical activity lasting 5-10 minutes conducted during class time) in the classroom to reduce adiposity and improve physical fitness and cognitive performance in children aged 4 to 6 years.
A three-arm group randomized controlled trial (two interventions and one control) was conducted with 314 children from 8 schools in rural and urban areas of the province of Cuenca. The schools were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: Movi-da 10-Enriched intervention (n = 3) with active breaks including curricular reinforcement, Movi-da 10-Standardized intervention (n = 2) with active breaks consisting solely of physical activity, and the control group (n = 3).
The target dose for both intervention groups was 100 minutes per week of additional physical activity (two 10-minute active breaks) during school hours throughout the academic year.

The target dose for both intervention groups was 100 minutes per week of additional physical activity (two 10-minute active breaks) during school hours throughout the academic year.
After one school year, the participants of Movi-da 10! showed improvements in cardiorespiratory capacity, lower body strength, and speed/agility compared to the schoolchildren in the control group.

Movi-da FIT! analyzed the effectiveness of an extracurricular physical activity program based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve executive function, academic performance, physical fitness, and to reduce adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in primary school students.
Movi-da FIT! analyzed the effectiveness of an extracurricular physical activity program based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve executive function, academic performance, physical fitness, and to reduce adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in primary school students.
A randomized field trial was conducted, involving 10 schools. Five schools were assigned to the intervention group, and five to the control group. Movi-da FIT! consisted of 4 hours per week of extracurricular physical activity based on HIIT-adapted games throughout the school year.
